I'm probably gonna go over tommorow (today when i wake up) and get a 40 gallon breeder for Andariel. She's in a 15 gallon right now and it just looks really small between her hide and the water bowl, and i feel bad cause she can't really stretch out. (I'm used to all of my pets having lots of room to "play", and even tho she isn't terribly active right now she should still have room to stretch out in IMHO.
So far my list includes the 40 gallon breeder tank, screen lid, a light, reptibark (yes/no/or stick with astroturf???), a rock like water bowl, and a cave like enclosure (since its gonna be her home and a display case I wanna make it look really neat
But... what kinda bulb do u guys recommend. And would the heating pad I have now (approx 11"X14") be enough for the warm side? or should i get a bigger one, or just get an UTH (the sticky one that goes on the glass itself?) for under it?... I got a digital thermo today at work (cause the store only has one analog thermo but are gettin more in, so this will work for now. What else am I missin?
And... what do u guys have for a home for ur feeders? I had a mouse in a rubbermain cooler with dog food and a bowl of water and the dumb SOB was dead when i woke up today lol... i guess it went on hunger strike or something. But I dont' wanna get a mouse and have it die on me before she decides to eat it.
Plus by gettin the other tank I can set the 10 gallon up as her feeder tank so she won't eat in her main home.
Another thing. What do u do if u feed urs fresh killed and well.. he/she won't eat it? U freeze it then or what?
Sorry for the long post
